Mount Carmel School: Nestled in the Foothills of the Appalachian Mountains
Founded in 1925, Mount Carmel School (MCS) has become one of the most respected Christian schools in Eastern Kentucky. Our school has produced hundreds of pastors, missionaries, business leaders, educators, and other professionals over the years.
We are excited about Mt. Carmel’s future as we look forward to expansion of the satellite school in Waco, Kentucky, and a future satellite school in West Liberty, Kentucky. Mount Carmel has a history of serving students from distressed areas of the world, in addition to Eastern Kentucky.
At 100YMCHS, we believe in the power of prayer, collaboration, creativity, and innovation as we prepare to celebrate 100 years at Mount Carmel School and beyond!
A Historic Cornerstone Renovation Like No Other
Description of the Lazarus Project
Efforts are underway to renovate Mt. Carmel’s very first building, the Administration Building, which enabled the school to begin its first year in 1925. Many thanks to Kentucky Regional Area Development District (KRADD) as they assist MCS by providing grant writing services for this purpose.
Approval of this grant will mean that we will be able to establish our cornerstone building to serve as administrative and teacher offices once again. The renovation will be a tremendous benefit to our local and international students. It will also bring revenue and relief to our local business and economy, since one of its purposes will be to serve as a disaster relief hub. When it is needed, this renovated building will provide centralized disaster relief offices, and the Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association (KMHA) will collaborate with local and regional officials.
The pre-application for the Lazarus Project has been submitted. Summit Engineering in Lexington, Kentucky, was selected for the architectural design and restoration. Mount Carmel former student Richard Jackson is our project manager and will work closely with Summit’s engineers upon approval of this grant.
